At the beginning of my teacher training, I asked myself: 'Who do I want to be as a teacher?' This is what I wrote:
I will be a resilient and adaptive teacher who creates an inclusive and inspiring classroom environment. I will ask my students meaningful questions and guide them to take true ownership of their learning. For as long as I remain in the profession, I will commit to growing and learning alongside my students. Knowledge will not only be imparted but collected as well.
We will move forwards together.

While this collection of evidence is certainly a 'highlight reel', I hope that it is able to capture at least an essence of what my two years as a PRT at Tirimoana School has looked like. My goals for next year (and beyond) include continuing to put relationships at the forefront of everything I do. Having high expectations for my class and setting clear boundaries. I aim to be consistent and fair. I want to continue my journey learning Te Reo Māori and developing my application and understanding of the Universal Design for Learning. I also want to take care of myself, explore who I am as a person and discover what my future looks like. For however long that teaching is my chosen career, I pledge to make sure that I am motivated, inspired and the best version of myself that I can be.
Of course, a few pages on a website are never going to be able to truly capture what an all-encompassing career teaching is and tell every single story but I would like to think these stories can be heard, felt and seen by stepping into my classroom, talking to the students that have had me as their teacher and working/collaborating with me as a team member. I am grateful to have completed my first 2 years in the teaching profession. This job is so demanding but also so rewarding. There have been good days and not-so-good days, tears, laughter, frustration, breakthroughs... it truly has been a journey!
I feel proud of myself for becoming the educator that I am today and hopeful about the educator that I am to become.
